A SeismOIOgical Summary.

The vibrations of even severe earth
quakes, says Prof. c. III. Darwin, are
very short. Brick and stone chimneys
will be shattered by one of a quarter
of ali inch. As rule, the d sturbance
originates from one and half to seven
m les below the surface, and very rarely
at greater depths. Earthquakes occur
on steeply sloping shores, and are most
frequent in winter, when the changes
in barometric pressure are greatest.
The moon, also, probably has some in
fuence. The weight Of the air and of
the tides act upon the situat on as a
trigger upon a gun. The internal heat
of the earth is doubtless the moving
cause, aud the gradual uneven shrink
age of the surface its manifestation.

A Vindictiye Rat.

Pick McKeon, a well-known employe
on the wharves of the PENNSYLVANIA
Company, assures me that he has seen
many an old rat lose its eve in fight
with the sparrows. Once he saw a
sparrow caught by q one-eyed rat. The
quadruped had apparently lost his eye
In one of the oat troubles some weeks
before. It was clear that it was ami
mated by spirit of revenge. "For two
days." says Pick, 81 saw the rat lying
on his back under a string-piece, as
though dead. One of Daddy Reds
horses was splitting oats near by, and
the sparrows were filling themselves.
On the third day the horse had tan
trum, and shook the oats all over the
rat. The sparrows ate the scattered
oats first. They were evidently sus-
picious of the rat, although he had
been lying there at their dinner-hour
for two days. Finally a bold little cock
went up to the rat and began to pick
the oats from behind his hind legs. In
a jiffy the rat doubled on him. There
was a snap like the blades of a jack
knife. The sparrow gave hutter and
a dying gasp, and the rat dragged him
away with one wing trailing behind
him. "-NeiC York Star.

The Decay OF Teeth.

Not only are the diseases ordinarily
regarded as contagious or infectious,
including even consumption and pneu-
monia, attributed to microbes, but even
badness is found to be sometimes pro-
duced by microscopic organisms, and
Millers researches in 1884 indicate
that decay of the teeth is chiefly due
to the development of one or more
species. AS Trouessart states, the
presence of acids introduced into the
mouth, or developed by certain dis
eases ulcers, thrush, etc., which are
themselves produced by microbes, APP
pears TO be the predisposing cause of
the dental carries. These acids begin
by softening the dentine, deprived at
some point of its superficial coating OF
enamel, and through this the organ
isms enter. Saliva can be rendered ex-
perimentally acid by mixing it for four
hours, at temperature of seventy de-
grees, with sugar and starch. Hence
the righteousness of confectionery, long
and correctly supposed to be the cause
of the early decay of teeth, especially
in children who eat it in excess.

A Plan TO Purify Nominations.

Suppose it were provided that regis
tration in cities should be made early
in October next before an election
that at the time of registration the
voter should be requested to name the
persons whom he would nominate for
the Offices TO be filled, and that the per-
sons thus nominated by certain num-
Der, say tenth of the voters regis
tered, should have their ballots printed
and distributed at the expense of the
county. Would not these conditions
tend to purify nominations? The de-
tails of plan, of which this is the
merest outline, are easy made. 1t
might be provided that no person
should be thus nominated except one
who had been previously recommended
as fit for the Office by certain number
of the voters of the district. -DdUid
